The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz have raised fuel costs and caused shortages of key fertilizers around the world, wreaking havoc on the agricultural industry. Adam Hanieh, director of the SOAS Middle East Institute at the University of London, says the effects could be felt for a long time, particularly in the Global South.

“About a third of the world’s basic fertilizers now pass through the Strait of Hormuz,” says Hanieh, who adds that the “coming food crisis” is compounded by the climate and debt crises in much of the developing world. “It’s a perfect storm.”

Picture this. It’s August 1905, and you’re standing near Mahenge in what was then German East Africa.

There’s fighting breaking out. Dust in the air. Gunfire in the distance. And then, out of the bush, you see something striking.

Large groups of African fighters moving toward a German position. Not scattered. Not hiding. Moving forward, directly into it.

Now here is the thing. This is a very uneven fight.

On the German side, you have colonial troops led by officers like Theodor von Hassel.

They’re dug in. They’re organised. And they have machine guns.

They’re also supported by askari, African soldiers trained under German command.

On the other side, most of the fighters are carrying spears and bows.
Some have firearms, but nothing close to what they’re up against.

And yet, they keep advancing.

Not because they don’t understand the danger. But because many of them believe they are protected.

Before the fighting, they had taken part in a ritual.

They were given what was known as maji, a kind of sacred water.
The belief was that this would protect them. That bullets would not harm them.

Now, from a distance, that might sound irrational.

But when you place it in context, it starts to make more sense.

Because this wasn’t just about belief. It was about pressure.

By 1905, German rule in the region had become extremely harsh.
Forced labour. Heavy taxation. And in particular, forced cotton farming.

Entire communities were being pushed to the limit. So what you’re seeing here is not just a battlefield moment.

It’s the point where that pressure finally breaks.

This is the Maji Maji Rebellion. One of the largest uprisings against colonial rule in African history……..
